In her nineteenth year she was a curious reproduction in face and figure, expression and carriage, of that Lady Diana Angersthorpe who five and forty years ago fluttered the dove-cots of St. James's and Mayfair by her brilliant beauty and her keen intelligence.

In one of them were two hundred and twelve cots, all of which showed a pale or fevered face upon the pillow.

There were men on cots, lying still and helpless, bandaged to their very eyes.

In most of the rooms they found only cheap cots with blankets, evidently the sleeping quarters of the workmen, but in one of the rooms was a desk, and from it a ladder led to an unfinished attic.

Since first the fabric of this power begun; His noble stream, inglorious, Mersey roll'd, Nor felt his waves by lab'ring art controll'd: Along his side a few small cots were spread, His finny brood their humble tenants fed; At op'ning dawn with fraudful nets supply'd The padding skiff would brave his specious tide, Ply round the shores, nor tempt the dangerous main, But seek ere night the friendly port again.

At Tommy's boarding school all the boys slept in one large room, on cots conveniently arranged.

So the beds of the few who cannot be dressed are pushed close to the stage, and around their cots are the chairs and benches of their convalescent comrades.

Cuffe had offered them cots in his cabin and seats at his table in a moment of confidence; and the offer was gladly accepted.

So it was not long before a cheerful blaze was throwing grotesque lights and shadows down the hall, showing up the odd array of cots and beds which had been brought, without regard to final disposition, into the hall.

Into this room she directed Uncle Timothy and Alec to move four of the cots, and set Mary Ann at work making up the beds in the hall.

"Will you come up and see the sleeping-rooms?" They went up the freshly scrubbed steps to a great dormitory, where, against the bare walls, stood long rows of narrow cots.

Joyce was distressed; she looked around for Sister Denisa, but saw that they were alone, they two, in the great bare dormitory, with its long rows of narrow white cots.

Cots, operating-table, instrument-cases, sterilizers, everything was complete.

On two of the cots, men were lying.

A few scattered cots, like white clouds in the sky, Or like still sails at sea when the light breezes die, And a mill with its wheel in the brook's silver glow, Form thy beautiful hamlet, sweet Vallée des Vaux!
